Aragorn or Faramir

[Coldwinterahead1]

I’m rewatching Lord of the Rings and can’t decide on who I like best ? I’m thinking Faramir is more moody....... decisions decisions

[seriousandloyal]

Aragorn forever ❤️❤️❤️

@Pinkywoo

Definitely Aragorn (but not with his blow-dry at the end), then Legoland.

Legoland? Hahaha!

Strider all the way here, although I do quite like Faramir. When I read the books as a teen I wanted to be Eowyn.

[lakeswimmer]

Just been watching the films (haven't read the books) Deffo Aragorn. I do love Legolas though...

[DianasLasso]

Legoland?

🤣🤣🤣

[Stompythedinosaur]

Clearly Aragorn, can't believe there is a debate!

Farmer is good in the books but less so in the film.

*Faramir

@Feagle

Aragorn when he's Strider, but definitely not when he finally becomes king, washes and gets a silly some-up-some-down hairdo to go with his crown. I prefer him manky with dirt and straight from an Orc fight, or doing his Sexy Door-Opening thing.

Agree though that BookFaramir is much better than FilmFaramir.

Sexy Door Opening thing
I've always loved that part. Such a powerful opening of the doors.

[Lockheart]

Legolas was my first love as a young teen. I still would.

Thranduil isn't bad either if that's not too incestuous. Can't believe he hasn't been mentioned yet!

Strider also a strong choice.

I did have a bit of a thing for elrond after rewatching the Hobbit recently, but I largely put that down to a crush on V...

[Givemeabreakpls]

Eomer!

[YouUnlockedTheGateAnd]

Strider

But if unavailable, then I do have a crush on Elrond.

Can’t believe no one has said Gandalf yet 🤣

[CrazyToast]

Aragorn when he is scruffy. Legolas. My dream couple of boyfriends.

[LearnedResponse]

Am I the only one who listened to the BBC Radio LOTR far too many times as a teen? Robert Stephens’ voice as Aragorn is terrifyingly sexy.

[PhilODox]

Learned response I too listened avidly to the BBC radio adaptation!

Strider- book, then radio, then film.

Boromir/Faramir are both awful, book and film!

[AsTreesWalking]

learned response you are NOT the only one who listened too much to the BBC radio version! SO good! I'm going to have to get the precious tapes out again...
Glad to see a healthy number of 'book Faramir' responses - I also saw myself as Eowyn, and fell in love with him at 17 (he superceded my hopeless passion for John Keats)

[DianasLasso]

Glad to see a healthy number of 'book Faramir' responses - I also saw myself as Eowyn, and fell in love with him at 17

Mmm yes I was a bit younger, but yes.

[EoinMcLovesCakeJumper]

I think I was about 15 when I decided that I was going to marry Book Faramir somehow, and live in Ithilien amongst the healing plants and stray Mumakil 😂

On another note, I shall always be referring to Legolas as Legoland from now on.

[Coldwinterahead1]

I’ve downloaded the BBC adaptations on Audible. Should make my days cleaning a bit more manageable

[iklboo]

OI! Karl Urban is mine. Mine I tell you! Oh, ok. We'll take three days a week each and let him get his strength back on day seven.

[MitziK]

@TooExtraImmatureCheddar

How has no one mentioned film Thorin Oakenshield yet?

I’m also on team book Faramir and film Aragorn.

Oh, so very pleasing to the eye, but wayyyy too many issues. Always harping on about the past and what was his birthright. Would forever be complaining that the bloke at number 37 had a better car than he does and beside himself with rage because his granddad had owned a palace when he is expected to slum it in a three bedroom semi in the suburbs. Would undoubtedly bin you for the pretty little thing in Accounts once he got to about 42 because he was entitled to have a trophy girlfriend rather than an adult woman who had put up with his getting pissed and bitching about what could have been for the last twenty years.



I'm more into the ones who were proper relationship material - Beorn, Tom Bombadil, Samwise Gamgee;

Beorn - nice house, good cook, great with animals, fiercely protective

Tom - adores his wife, great singing voice, immune to corruption

Sam - able to put up with a pathetic, whining 'Oh, it's too hard, I'm just going to stare off into space and let you sort shit out' posh boy Hobbit without pushing him off the path leading to Cirith Ungol, willing to deal with any baby Shelobs in the bathroom for you, able to give the ring back (so would let you have the last packet of salt 'n' vinegar and say it's fine, he really likes cheese & onion bleurghhh after all), great gardener, will look after the pets/ponies, can find food/do the shopping and cook, just wants to get a crappy day job done and come home.

[Minesril]

Kili was very nice but i think Oakenshield slightly nicer (which is weird because actor wise it's the other way round!). The bit in the first film when he charged the white orc was epic.

But my crush on Orlando bloom which started aged 18 has never really gone away. (Apart from Troy.) am waiting for series two of carnival row with some impatience.

[SockQueen]

I'm just going to leave this here...

Definitely Aragorn in his unmanicured state at the beginning of lotr. I can never understand why I hate my OH to be scruffy yet Aragorn pulls it off so well.
